Back of Book: Lasting from 1485 to 1603-just 118 years-the Tudor dynasty was short-lived, but it was filled with some of the most famous, notorious, and intriguing British monarchs. Their legacy lives on in many dark and disreputable stories, including murder, execution, treason, false imprisonment, adultery, and religious turbulence.

This book is a good fit for high school age readers that may not particularly enjoy reading. I'm using it in my curriculum for World History & World Religion. It does not go too in-depth for the average history buff but does provide enough details about each family member to be a valuable study tool.

This book is filled with gorgeous illustrations and reproductions of well-known photographs and paintings that aid visual learners.

Many interesting facts can be found throughout the book in sidebars, promoting a younger reader to browse alone.

After reading this book I've decided to explore other titles in the "Dark History" series.

This book is more of a coffee table book than serious textbook, but it still provides enlightenment and amusement for most readers aged 13 and up.
